London School of Economics (LSE) Demography Studentship in UK

The Department of Methodology at the London School of Economics (LSE) is welcoming applications for a fully funded MPhil/PhD in Demography.

The programme combines the study of social demography (the social and cultural aspects of population change) with formal demography (the statistical measurement of population dynamics). So, you’ll be equipped with well-rounded skills for your future career.

You’ll explore core theoretical debates and develop advanced skills in demographic methods and quantitative and/or qualitative analysis. You’ll also draw on LSE’s expertise in broader areas such as sociology and economics.

• satisfy the English Language requirements of the LSE.

• For this programme, students can apply for LSE PhD Studentships and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funding.
